The students should know how wireless networks can be operated, what methods have to be applied to ensure reliable operation and how to adjust a network to a given scenario.

Based on the material given in the lecture 'Mobile Communications, students get exercises to solve at home. The results are presented and discussed in class. At least once per semester each student has to present the solutions of one exercise sheet in class. The exercises are mandatory to solve and they must be handed in before the class starts. Collaborations on the exercises are allowed but every student has to hand in his own solution. The physical presence in the class is mandatory. Homework exercises can be downloaded and handed in via Moodle. The correct solutions to the exercises are presented during class and will not be published.

This exercise course aims to be a supplement to the lecture 700.200 Mobile Communications by Prof. Bettstetter.

School knowledge on basic physics, stochastics, and calculus is expected.

The grading of this exercise course is based on:The solutions of the task sheets that are handed in via MoodleThe presentation of the solutions in class

AntennasRadio propagationDiversitySignalsChannel codingModulationMultiple access and cellular conceptMedium access control (MAC) protocols

The students have to show that they are able to apply the theoretical knowledge from the lecture to solve calculations. Furthermore, the ability to explain the solutions in a concise way is an important criterium for the evaluation of students. The grade will be based on the students'  performance therein.For further details, refer to the first course unit or to Moodle (once you are enrolled in the class).
